I'm wiring for a reading light in the ceiling above my soaker tub. I was going to wire it to an air switch that was going to go into the rim of the tub. Can I use a decora switch on the wall next to the tub and run it to a relay that would control the light?

Thx

The only rule about switches is that they can't be inside "tub space",
the area above the tub. The light itself is another issue. Is is above
8'? If not it needs to be "wet location" rated


If I understand correctly, an airswitch is a pneumatic device
placed near a wet location, that activates an electrical switch
elsewhere. That SHOULD be legal in/near a tub enclosure.
That is, after all, what they're designed for.
